Weird Update Thing

Hi, a bit of system info would help e.g. inxi -zv8. :wink:

Having checked re. lib32-libjpeg-turbo, I don’t think this in itself is a system-critical package:

pamac search lib32-libjpeg-turbo
lib32-libjpeg-turbo  3.1.0-1 [Installed]                                                              multilib
    JPEG image codec with accelerated baseline compression and decompression                                                       multilib

… and

pacman -Qii lib32-libjpeg-turbo

But going down the rabbit hole, it looks like there are a number of "sub-"dependencies of these.

I found this on the Forum from a couple of years back, it should help:

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --protocol http && sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

… I wouldn’t normally recommend the second y with pacman but it won’t hurt in this case.
